Indore (Madhya Pradesh): As the monsoon season draws to a close, there's no better way to embrace the season's lingering beauty than with a scenic ride to Ganga Mahadev and Kaal Bhairav. You can easily reach the waterfall in two hours, considering the average traffic situation. The ride to Ganga Mahadev waterfall is smooth, and you can drive right up to the fall.

To exit the city, take Dhar Road. Since the travel is mostly on the highway, you don’t have to worry about muddy patches or potholes. However, since the authorities are yet to fill the rain potholes, you should drive carefully.
